Your computer.
Yours again.

We’re creating CardinalOS. A Linux system based on Fedora, designed to bring beauty, privacy and the freedom to do things together.

A CodLab project. No release available yet.

A clear direction

Less noise.
More room for you.

We want a computer you’ll love to use every day. Thoughtful about what you see. Respectful of what you keep to yourself.

Beautiful, down to the details.

Type, colour and motion designed together. Our vision is a coherent desktop, from the first click to the last window.

Your life stays yours.

Our goal is a system without telemetry or profiling. Privacy should be a design decision, from the very beginning.

An open foundation.

CardinalOS is being built on Fedora. We want to bring the strength of Linux to a simple, recognisable everyday experience.

Play belongs here, too.

Work, create, then play. Gaming is part of the vision; compatibility and performance will need testing, one title at a time.
